New bbP plugin install, users cannot create topics

This is an issue I’ve seen several times with my heavily customized production site, and I have assumed it was related to my custom work. I decided to start a fresh install and see about re-integrating with the current trunk, and “do it right” this time.

However, with a brand new bbP install, running the included 2010 theme, logged in users with the “subscriber” role, still can’t create topics at all. In fact nobody but admin can.

Oh and this is ToolTrainer, my posts are now all being marked as spam… major sad frowny face.

And here I was going to report that I regressed all the way back to build 2993 where it immediately began working properly.

I can’t tell you how relieved I am that you actually did track down the issue, and are working on the fix now. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou. Seriously. Thank you for not just writing me off as a nutjob. Even if I am one.

My birthday is tomorrow and as pathetic as this may sound, this is a FANTASTIC present. LOL

Can you all try the most recent revision, and see if that fixes it for you? I think there’s probably a cleaner way to handle some of this, but I’d like to let this sit for a few days and see how it’s received.

The limit is finding what circumstances should be prevented completely, and what should provide some kind of specific user feedback. The question is enough to make me want to eventually write some kind of legitimate permissions based access feedback; something that works similar to a 404.php but for access errors. No time to get this in before beta though.

So far, so great!! I actually grabbed JUST the file with this fix in it last night and threw it on my production site. Fixed the problem immediately! Now we’re working on re-integrating a clean install of the latest bbP build into our theme, and making sure everything stays happy.

JJJ, you’re a star. Thank you again for being so willing to actually investigate and fix this issue, and quickly too!

Will let you know if I run into any issues with it but I’m very optimistic.

The bbAdmin user can post new topics, forums, replies, etc however any other user type does not have an option to add a new topic or reply to existing topic, but they can SEE topics, forums and posts made by the bbPress admin.
